Poetry

---

A queen adorned with rare jewels
Of grace, simplicity and love.
A queen whose sweet heart
Prompts our own hearts
To turn to her in our every need.

A queen from whom we can learn
To chant our own magnificat
And praise God for His benevolent blessings.

A queen whose mortal body
Was not allowed to sleep in the earth
For she had borne the savior of the world
In her chaste womb.
The earthly paradise in whose incarnate heart
The tree of true life took complacence.

A queen who led the way to Heaven
By her glorious assumption
Leaving behind a glorious hope of our own fate
A vision of eternity when our time comes.

A queen who was the New Ark of the Covenant
The eastern gate by which the Savior entered this world.
A queen bestowed with the greatest ever title,
The Mother of God.
The August princess when on earth,
The August Queen now crowned in Heaven.

Maria Assumption Franco
